Chapter 24: The Incident II

Translator: J_Squared Editor: J_Squared

rlin listened closely to the sounds in the house. Since he had practiced the posture of that mysterious relief sculpture relentlessly, rlin’s senses had been greatly sharpened. He could hear any slight sounds in the house.

“Why isn’t there any sound?”

rlin frowned. He heard a series of light footsteps just now and it seed the person had reached the door. Suddenly, all sounds had stopped.

“Boom.”

With a loud bang, the wooden door beside rlin was smashed broken by soone, sending the broken wooden debris flying around. Following that, a hand quickly reached out from the hole made in the wooden door. A white light flashed by.

“Phew.”

It was a sharp dagger headed directly toward rlin.

“I have been found!”

rlin imdiately realized that he had been found out.

The dagger ca at him at the speed of lightning. rlin could not even defend against it. The only thing he could do was to roll sideways, barely dodging the hit.

“F*ck!”

rlin was so infuriated that he spat out a curse. He almost got killed even before he had a clear view of the person’s face. It turned out he was still too clueless.

After that, rlin did not wait for his doom. Instead, his body curled up like a fierce leopard and dashed toward the wooden door brutally with his explosive strength.

“Ka-chak.”

The wooden door was completely destroyed by this hit. rlin felt himself crashing into a soft body, bringing the person into the wooden house.

The wooden house was dark with all the curtains shut tight. They must have been shut off by the people from the City Defense Troop. The whole house was almost sealed off. Moreover, since the place was not ventilated for a long ti, the house reeked of an unbearable, moldy stench.

After crashing into the person, rlin quickly jumped up from the ground. His alerted gaze set tightly on the person as he asked, “Who are you?”

The secret person in front of him wore a long black coat. The wide coat had covered his body shape so her figure could not be seen. Also, she wore a large, black cloak over her head so her face could not be seen.

Faced with rlin’s question, the secret person did not speak. Instead, she held up her dagger. Her wide black coat slowly began shaking. It was as though there were gusts of wind blowing beside her.

“Hmm? Wind Elent? Elental Swordsman?”

rlin was already extrely sensitive toward Elents. The Wind Elent on the person was extrely strong and surrounded her completely. She was an Elental Swordsman. From the wave of Wind Elent about her, she should just be a First-level Elental Swordsman.

“Swoosh.”

Her figure flashed when her speed had reached its peak. In the dark wooden house, rlin still could not grasp the secret person’s figure even when his senses had already been sharpened greatly. His opponent’s speed was simply too quick.

rlin could only stay still and remain imperturbable in this incident. Once he sensed so movents near him, he would send his fist that way without thinking. However, each punch seed to only hit empty air. This made rlin fairly upsetting because all his strength had not been put to correct use.

“Tsk.”

Suddenly, rlin felt a chill at his neck. A sense of imdiate danger could be felt and he quickly turned his neck sideways. The sharp dagger directly pierced rlin’s skin.

It was great fortune that rlin was able to dodge in ti. Moreover, his body had beco extrely sturdy due to the practice of posture. So, this attack only ended in a scratch.

However, this made rlin break into a cold sweat. Just by a small margin, his neck would have been pierced.

“D*mn it. Too fast!”

rlin cursed in a low voice. His opponent was a Wind Swordsman that specialized in speed. Her figure that ca and went like a shadow was simply too quick. rlin even had difficulty to catch the person’s figure by sight, not to ntion getting a hit.

The house was too dark. Under such an environnt, fighting with a Wind Swordsman only put him in a disadvantaged situation.

Thinking about that, rlin turned around abruptly and dashed outside.

“Huhu.”

However, the secret person’s speed seed to be quicker. She ca right in front of rlin and stabbed at rlin’s chest.

“Got you. Go to hell!”

rlin’s mouth quirked into a smile. With the light by the door, he could clearly see the shadow in front of him. This was the ti he struck.

“Fireball!”

A fireball appeared out of nowhere and flew right at the secret person. The flying fireball emitted terrifying temperature and was more apparent in the dark house.

The fireball’s speed was quick. The person also seed to be shocked by the fireball that appeared abruptly. She only managed to dodge sideways as the fireball got a direct hit on the person’s black cloak.

The heat given off by the Fireball was extrely high. Without almost anything to stop it, it quickly burnt off half the person’s black cloak, revealing her beautiful blonde, long hair.

The house was still dark. Although rlin could not see the person’s facial expressions, he could guess that the person must be aghast.

When the person was still in shock, rlin dashed forward. With his hands like leaf fan, he caught hold of her long coat and smashed her onto the ground.

“Bang.”

rlin’s strength was exceptionally strong. She was imdiately thrown into a state of confusion from this smash. Still, she was an Elental Swordsman nonetheless. Her physical attributes were still excellent, so she still had the energy to stab at rlin’s neck.

“Hmph!”

rlin groaned as his left hand grabbed the person’s and his right hand grabbed her hair. Without the slightest hesitation, he smashed her head into the wall.

“Bang bang bang.”

After smashing her in the wall consecutively for three tis, the secret person no longer struggled and went slumped. rlin only stopped after seeing that.

rlin took in large mouthfuls of breath. This was his first ti facing such a dangerous opponent. Moreover, it was a matter of life and death. Although in terms of their actual strength, rlin was a strong Wizard who could easily win against any First-level and Second-level Elental Swordsman, he almost died in the person’s hand just now.

If he could not apply his spells in real battles, then it would be totally useless even if he got hold of strong spells.

Old man Etha had only grasped two Zero-level spells back then. He was the sa as rlin, an Entrance-level Spell Caster. Amongst the ranking of Spell Caster, Entrance-level could be counted as non-professional. Those Entrance-level Spell Caster could not even be counted as true Spell Caster. Only those who had grasped three Zero-level spells and had upgraded all three into First-level spells were able to beco First-level Spell Caster.

Even if old man Etha was only an Entrance-level Spell Caster, he still dealt with the Guardian Swordsman from Grand City with ease. Even Second-level Elental Swordsman like Swordsman Bogg was far from being his opponent. This also proved the strength of the Spell Casters. It was not sothing that could be compared to Elental Swordsman.

However, rlin was almost killed by a First-level Elental Swordsman today. This showed how alarmingly lacking he was in terms of battle experiences. In the beginning, he did not even have a chance to cast his spell. As a Spell Caster, this was a deadly weak point.

rlin touched his neck with his palm. He could feel so thick blood flowing out of it, but it was simply a small cut on the surface. Moreover, there was no more blood, so the figure was fine.

This was a great lesson to be learned!

“If I have cast Fireball and blasted the door open in the beginning, he won’t be able to hurt regardless of his speed.”

rlin was concluding his weakness from the battle just now. He had not gotten used to his identity as Spell Caster and his habit to attack first. Spell Caster should finish his enemy off from afar, not fighting close combat with an Elental Swordsman.

The woman in a black clothing was still lying on the ground. Since she was smashed by rlin for a few tis, it might still take a while for her to regain consciousness. Thus, rlin stood up and approached her. He uncovered half of the black cloak that remained on her.

After fighting for such a long ti, rlin had not gotten a close look at her face.

The black cloak was uncovered, revealing her blonde hair in which a part of it was burnt. The hair was still releasing a burnt odor.

“Too bad she had such a beautiful hair.”

rlin shook his head slightly as he praised this beautiful, long hair. It was a sha that rlin’s fireball had burnt a part of such beautiful hair. The blonde hair also appeared slightly black and extrely odd.

The person was lying on her side with her hair covering her face. rlin put her hair slightly off her face and looked at her.

“Hmm?”

rlin’s eyes squinted. His stare beca sharp imdiately.

“Gia?”

The person lying on the ground was, to his surprise, Gia who taught his history class.

rlin could still recall that even Gutt had not found Gia’s true background with his family’s influence back then. He did not expect to see Gia at this place.

Moreover, according to how she acted, she was not a normal teacher. It was not as simple as that.

Just when rlin was guessing the relationship between Gia and old man Etha, Gia groaned slightly and was about to wake up.

rlin stood up and took a step back, with his eyes staring dead at Gia.

After a while, rlin heard Gia’s breathing beca rapid, so he pulled a light smile. “Stop pretending. Why don’t you open your eyes if you’re awake?”

Hearing rlin’s words, Gia opened her eyes as expected. She looked at rlin and said in a calm tone, “Wilson rlin? I can’t believe Mr. Etha has really taken you as his true disciple.”

Just when Gia was struggling to stand up, rlin waved his hands. Following his motion, a fireball appeared and directly collided towards the ground beside Gia.

“Boom.”

The fireball hit the ground and exploded directly. It blasted a hole off the wooden floor, leaving black smoke sizzling above the hole.

“Done with the ga. Otherwise, the fireball will be exploding on your body the next ti.”

rlin warned Gia directly with his action. After a month of an excruciating practice of his Mind ditation spell, his Mind Power had finally improved. Most important of all, he was even more skillful in manipulating his Fireball so the situation of fireballs going out of control would not happen again.
